The chief practical difficulties in work
ing the telephone are due to the fact that
when an electric current is passing along
wire it has the property of producing a
current of opposite character in any wire
in its vicinity. This is what is known as
induction, and it is owing to this faculty
that the words spoken on one wire can be
overheard on an adjoining one. If the
neighboring wire should be telegraphic,
the feeble current of the telephone is over
powered by its stronger neighbor. and it
Is difficult, if not impossible, to catch the
transmitted words amid the din-com-
pared to the noise of a pot boiling-caused
by the telegraph
Still moro fatal to all telephone COM
munication is the presence Of an electric
lighting system in the vicinity of tele-
phone wires, the powerful current neces-
sary for lighting Purposes causing can in
cessant roar that renders speech an i'm
possibility" Many plans have been tried
Tor overcoming the unpleasant conse-
quences of induction, the most successful
OF these being that of using an additional
return wire instead of utilizing the earth
for the completion of the circuit. The
two wires are placed in close proximity.
with the result that the disturbing influ-
ence is completely neutralized. Iron and

A missionary stationed on an island in
Terra del Fuego says there is a fair divi-
sion OF labor between the men and the
women, but one curious custom exists.
Inc men make and 1T up the canoes, but
the women are the rOWers. The result is
that the women are good swimmers, but
the men cannot swim at all. The reason
IS that often on the coast there is not
single tree to which 10 fasten the canoes.
Inc women, therefore, after landing their
husbands, have TO row the canoes to q
SPOT where seaweed has been massed to-
sether, IN order 10 moor the canoe thereon;
aller which operation they are compelled
70 SWIM back So, also, when the canoe
IS wanted, the women have TO swim out
for it and row back for their husbands.--

Luxuriant Hair

Can only be preserved by keeping the
scalp clean, cool, and free from dam
druff, and the body in a healthful
condition. The great popularity of
Ayers Hair VigOr is due to the fact
that it cleanses the scalp, promotes the
growth of the hair, prevents it from
falling out, and gives it that soft and
silky gloss so essential to perfect beauty.
Frederick Hardy, of Roxbury, Mass,
gentleman fifty years of age, was fast
losing his hair, and what remained was
growing gray. After trying various
dressings with no effect, he commenced
the use of Ayers Hair Vigor. cit
stopped the falling out" he writes;
''anG, to my great surprise, converted
my white hair without staining the
scalp) to the same shade Of broom it
had when I was % years of age"
Ten Years Younger.
Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Boston,
writes: "FOr years, I was compelled
to wear a dress cap to conceal bald
spot on the crown of my head but now
gladly lay the cap aside, for your Hair
Vigor is bringing out a new growth. I
could hardly trust my senses when I
first found my hair growing but there
it is, and I am delighted. I look ten
gears younger"
A similar result attended the use of
Ayers Hair Vigor by Mrs. o. o. Pres
colt, of Charlestown, Mass, Miss Bessie
Il. Bedloe, of Burlington, Vt, Mrs. J. J.
Burton, of Bangor, Me-, and numerous
others.
The loss of hair may be owing to i'm
purity of the blood or derangement of
the stomach and liver, in which case.
a course of Ayers Sarsaparilla or of
ayers Pills, in connection with the
NlgOr, may be necessary to give health
and tone to all the functions of the
body. AT the same time, it cannot be
TOO strongly urged that none of these
remedies can do much good without
persevering trial and strict attention
to cleanly and temperate habits.
